14 It s time to build on Georgia s investment in higher education. A CALL TO ACTION It s clear that the more we invest in Georgia s colleges and universities, the more we enjoy economic prosperity, reduced government spending and many other benefits. This report focuses on a few of these returns. But there are many more that are critical to the state. For instance, Georgia s colleges and universities generate more than 1.1 billion in research and development, spawning new discoveries and new companies. Established businesses bring new products to market with the aid of Georgia s research universities. Just as important are the less tangible benefits of higher education. People who continue their education are more inclined to vote, volunteer their time, read to their children and be active members of society. This is true whether they complete a college, university or technical program.
